Why, thank you. Now this poor person has to find a new drive-through window.

That's probably not this guy's name. But hey, thanks for the compliment.

Special consideration is given when it's a fellow barista ordering coffee.

Don't everyone in the coffee shop all try to claim this drink. Only about half of you qualify, after all.

Another from Reddit: "My barista can't draw that well but this made my day. Thanks Starbucks."

Your barista is trolling you.

Aww, shucks. We bet you write that on all the cups.

Actual name? Virginia. So close, but so wrong.

He said his name was Voldemort.

Wake up and read the funny things baristas write on coffee cups

1/29/2013

Oh, if the wastebaskets at Starbucks could talk — they'd probably say it's amazing what the writing on a coffee cup can reveal. There's the funny coffee grinder guy who hits on the same customer every day, and there's the barista who might get in trouble soon for commenting on people's outfits. Then there's the one who just can't stop doodling on the cups, no matter how busy things get. These pictures prove that not all baristas show great attention to detail (um, a coffee order for "lady" probably isn’t going to narrow it down much), but at least a lot of them have great senses of humor. And at 6 a.m. en route to the office, our caffeine-deprived bodies and souls appreciate that extra effort.
